Formerly Pineau d'Aunis and Pinot d'Aunis.
Lambic d'Aunis was originally a test batch using Pineau D'Aunis grapes provided by Olivier Lemasson at Les Vins Contés. This beer is very similar to what was later brewed and released as Zwanze 2011, however that beer also had Brambling Cross hops added. Pineau d’Aunis grapes are a minor grape from the Loire region of France.

Pinot di Aunis, bottle poured into a cantillon taster. Big thanks to Manuele from Ma Che Siete for hooking me up with this world class beer and big thanks to Jbeatty for trading me another
A- dark orange with creamsicle looking head
N- Huge depth of white and red grapes. red wine, vineous with an earthy/grassy and almost pepper yeast funk.
T- wow,... wow.... by far top 3 of the day for our 4/20/13 tasting which consisted of veritas vertical, loerik, YB, eszett. Uli blends, beekeeper, le woody so on and so forth. I freakin love this fine liquid.
earthy funk, pepper spice,vineous red wine, cobb webb. such a combination of deep characteristics. simply amazing.
M- Light, airy, smooth, gods nectar poured into a cantillon tasting glass
O- One of my favorite Cantillons. Cant wait to see how my other bottle ages. I think ill open it in 2031.... in the meantime ill be ISO a few more bottles so that I can see what 5 yr intervals does to this one.

Pour at de Garde 10th Anniversary. Ruby pour with a small, thin pinkish head. Fruity aroma, red grapes and pit fruit. FRuitiness carries over to the taste, with the requisite tartness and funky notes. Splendid.

The third pour on the 2021 Zwanze Day lineup. This was my favorite of the bunch. So light and delicate, with a gentle berry-sweet note on it. Incredible finish. This is the sort of beer I could sit with and spend an afternoon sipping.

Pours a ruby red, with some carbonation that quickly dissipates. The aroma is a tart grape; the taste is a faded wine that becomes a bit more funky while working through the bottle.
Bottled 13 November 2017; purchased at the brewery during 2018 Quintessence.
